INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.

The one hundred and seventy-seven texts here published belong to the privatecollection of the Rev. Dr. James B. Nies of Brooklyn, New York. The collection,consisting of cylinders, vases, seals, objects in copper and bronze, tablets, etc., con-tains texts of nearly all the important periods of Babylonian history, from theArchaic to the Seleucid era. By far the larger number belong to the time of the UrDynasty; while the First Dynasty, Neo-Babylonian, and Persian periods are wellrepresented. In a general way the material consists of important historical andvotive inscriptions, hymns and prayers, letters, contracts and various other legaldocuments, exercise tablets, temple administrative records, etc.

The present texts consist of letters, Nos. 1-94; legal documents, Nos. 95, 97-130,133; and temple administrative records, Nos. 96, 131, 132, 134-177. Their proven-ance is Erech, as is evident from the mention of this city, or otherwise from thecontents. No. 126, however, is dated at Babylon; while Nos. 116, 123 are dated atthe city Kar-dNana; No. 97 at the city Bit m Shabahi-ilu; and Nos. 98, 99, 102, 103,115, 117, 125 at places in the district belonging to the dBelit of Erech.

Most of the letters are unbaked, and many, as the autographed texts show, areegible only in part. On the other hand the contracts are, as a whole, well preserved.

The texts belong to the Neo-Babylonian period (625-539 B. C.), and the firsttwo reigns (539-522 B. C.) of the Persian. Thus in the legal and administrativetexts are represented the reigns of Nabopolassar, Nebuchadrezzar, Evil-Merodach,Neriglissar, Nabonidus, and the two Persian kings Cyrus and Cambyses. Twobelong to the period immediately before Nabopolassar's time: No. 134 is dated inthe reign of the Assyrian king Gishshar-shum-ukin (668-648 B. C.), formerly readShamash-shum-ukin; and No. 159 in the reign of his successor Kandalanu (648-625 B. C.). The letters, as is commonly the case, are undated; but for paleographicreasons, as well as from the personal names mentioned, they must be assigned tothis period. Nos. 3 and 17, however, can be placed more definitely as they mentionthe 15th and 14th years of Nabonidus respectively. No. 93 is addressed to "theking of countries," which no doubt refers to one of the Persian kings, as in thecontracts these bear the title "king of Babylon, king of countries." The

writer is Bel-nadin-aplu, a name occurring on texts dated in the reign of Cyrus,

thus indicating this ruler as the probable addressee.

With few exceptions the letters relate to matters of a purely administrative

character; a number (see catalogue) being addressed to temple officials. For

example, No. 13 is apparently a reply to a letter from the addressee. In No. 67

a request is made that wine be sent for the sacrifices to the sun-god Shamash;

so in No. 77 that wool be given to the messenger sent by the writer. A number

refer to transactions in money: No. 5 in which two individuals are asked to bring

with them, when coming to Larsa, twenty mine of silver for the writer; No. 47 in

which the writer specifies the disposition to be made of the fifteen shekels of silver

that he sends; or No. 71 requesting the cancelling of a loan of five mine of silver,

as it had been paid at a specified time.

A few give information about the grain sent by an individual for a stated

purpose (e. g. No. 7); or concerning grain in Barsipki (No. 59). In Nos 2, 26, etc.,

the writer asks his readers not to be negligent in their guarding of the temple

Eanna. In Nos. 18, 34, 62, 93 reference is made to a common oriental custom,

convenanting with salt. No. 93 is a report made to the king, presumably by one

of his officials. So also No. 94 is a report made by a subordinate to temple

officials concerning a certain field. In these last two is to be noted the absence of

the salutation so common in the letters.

The letters are of special interest to the student of history or civilization in so

far as they add to our knowledge of the temple administration, refer to special phases

of the daily life of the people, or mention such details, for example, as new personal

names. The chief value, however, is to be found in the philological material that

they offer Assyriologists.The character of the other texts, i. e. the contracts and the lists, is indicated in

the catalogue. The primary object of this series being to present only the texts

with indices to scholars, attention is simply called to a few facts of value which these

texts offer.The relation, or rank, of the many temple officials is often a difficult matter to

determine. In the letters the §atammu, bel-piqitti, and qipu are frequently men-

tioned. Nos. 108 and 126 are important in this respect. In 108:14-15 the bel-

piqitti is shown to be subordinate to the qipu, while in 126:9-10 he is subordinate to

the satammu.In the published texts, and in a number belonging to the Yale Babylonian

Collection (in course of preparation for publication by a member of the Yale Baby-

lonian Seminary) reference is made to a class of temple servants called siraqu. The

interesting fact about these siraqu is the mark they bear, and with which perhaps

they were branded. This mark was also made upon animals. Only two of ourtexts, Nos. 120 and 169, mention this group, but from 120:4 it seems evident that

the mark upon them was a star; as here the phrase, in the other places written

phonetically kak-kab-tu, is written ideographically, namely MUL, the ideogram

for star.No. 167 is of interest as suggestive of the observance of a day something like the

Hebrew Sabbath. See similar texts and discussion by Clay, Miscellaneous Inscrip-

tions, Yale Oriental Series, Babylonian Texts, Vol. I, Nos. 46-51, and p. 75 ff.

It is with much pleasure that I express to Dr. Nies my sincere thanks for the

opportunity of copying his texts and for making possible their publication; also my

grateful appreciation and deep obligation to my teacher, Professor Clay, the editor

of this series, for his numerous critical and helpful suggestions.
